André de Dienes
Marilyn Monroe

Photographs and memoirs of the man who was Marilyn’s first photographer, but also her short-lived fiancé and then her friend throughout her life. Part of the TASCHEN Bibliotheca Universalis collection, these intimate archives by André de Dienes illustrate the metamorphosis of Norma Jean from a fledgling model to a very fragile international star, Marilyn Monroe, right up until the last days of her life and her tragic death. The whole composes an unparalleled portrait of an icon who still exerts the same power of fascination today.
